    Notes:

    William Alexander Parker Family
    Toshes/Toler’s Ferry, Virginia.

    William Alexander Parker’s ancestors landed at the Cliffs, St. Mary’s County, Maryland, in 1635. Some of the Parkers migrated to the Baltimore and Washington, DC areas. William Alexander Parker, youngest of his family, moved to Fauquier County, Virginia. He then left Fauquier County and moved to Pittsylvania County in 1768 – to get away from the Indians and to raise tobacco. He and his wife built a home at Toshes, near Toler’s Ferry. It is believed that his wife’s name was Henrietta. Some of their children were David, Benjamin and George. It is told that William Alexander had two other sons who were killed at Braddock’s Defeat in 1755. David and Benjamin moved to Hardin County, Kentucky.
    David was there in 1820, when David’s wife accidentally used arsenic instead of soda when preparing their bread; poisoning herself, David and two of their children. Benjamin, David’s considerably older brother, became the guardian of his brother’s surviving children. Some of the Kentucky Parkers moved to Illinois, while others, during the early and mid-1800’s ventured to Texas (Fort Parker) where one of the Parker children, Cynthia Ann, nine years of age, was kidnapped during a Comanche raid in 1836. Cynthia Ann married a Comanche chief. One of her children was Quanah Parker, a well known Comanche chief, who made numerous trips to Washington, DC to negotiate on behalf of his people.

Goggin, well known preacher in Bedford County during the 1800’s.
    Another one of George and Frances’ children was the Reverend Joseph Parker, who served a number of churches, and who was very well known and beloved during his lifetime.
